You’ve got to have a heart of stone not to find this hilarious:
My favorite bits are at 1:04-1:07, and at 11:30, when Gaga says she could be friends with ghosts and then the translator explains that “Japanese ghosts are pretty scary.”

Are we harboring terrierists?

What happens when a woman is forced to choose between her husband and her pet crocodile?
When he finally snapped and said it was the crocodile or him, Vicki didn’t think for a second.
She said: ‘I felt like Greg was asking me to put him ahead of one of my children.
‘I had pets when I met Greg, so in my eyes, he knew what he was getting into – just like any other man who gets with a woman with children.
Once again, we love Australia.

One of the most important things to remember when talking of our enemies, is how utterly depraved and conscienceless they are. Here is a video of five terrorists attacking a child in broad daylight.
Viewer discretion is advised.

We are doomed! One of our best defenses breached like the Maginot Line by a German Panzer:

Though, apparently, can sleep together successfully. With help. On occasion.
Edit: link fixed.

Man, if you leave an Austin apartment vacant for five weeks, you encounter a lot of wildlife when you move back in. Not just insects, but there are some lizards that move too fast for me to catch. It’s like an episode of Life After People.
Earlier in the summer, we were away for three weeks and came back to hundreds of fruit flies in the fridge. It was completely unclear what they’d hatched in or what they’d eaten over that time. Indeed, I didn’t realize fruit flies could live in a refrigerator for that long.
When we were away for a mere week in the spring, we found what I thought were worms, but after looking at them closely, I’m pretty sure they were snake hatchlings.
You can spray and seal all you want, but at the end of the day, it requires constant vigilance to keep Texas outside. Leave the homestead unwatched for but a short while, and you won’t be living alone.

From xinhuanet, which may or may not be true:
Thousands of dolphins blocked the suspected Somali pirate ships when they were trying to attack Chinese merchant ships passing the Gulf of Aden, the China Radio International reported on Monday.
The important question at hand: Who’s defecting, the ChiComs or the dolphins?!

A step in the right direction:
Tigers can no more change their stripes than leopards can change their spots. That’s a good thing too, for their unchanging patterns, as individually distinct as a human fingerprint, make it easier to track any single tiger over time. That process is about to become even simpler with a computer programme that creates a three-dimensional model of a tiger’s skin and can compare different shots of an animal taken at different times or angles.
The software is available for free download. You owe it to your children to know everything about the tigers in your neighborhood.

They’re banning pet chimps. On the one hand, this is stupid legislation that addresses a non-problem, and in a rational world Congress wouldn’t bother itself with this. On the other, any minute this Congress doesn’t use to increase spending is a minute well spent. Remember Franklin’s words: A trillion saved is a trillion earned.

This was no boating accident.
This calls for immediate decisive action on the part of the U.S.A (United Sapien Alliance) – but does Obama have the stones?

A year ago, I blogged about the noble efforts of a team of crack dolphin warriors off the coast of Scotland who were fight an asymmetrical battle against harbor porpoises. During this time, humanity has also been under constant, growing threat from the Beastly Monarchy, especially the devious celaphopods (I am not alone in my fear of these foul, green-blooded fiends).
Now, in a righteous show of fraternity with their sapien allies, the dolphins have begun coordinated attacks against the slimy fiends while demonstrating their affinity for our human tastes and habits:
Julian Finn, Tom Tregenza and Mark Norman (the trio who first described the amazing mimic octopus) have discovered a single female bottlenose, who has developed a way of hunting cuttlefish. Not only does she successfully capture them, but she has learned how to prepare them for the perfect meal, with all the skill of a master chef…
Its technique was always the same. First, she flushed the cuttlefish out from its hiding place among the dense brown algae. Once it was exposed among open sand, she dived downwards and pinned it to the floor with her beak. With a powerful beat of her tail and a twist of her body, she jabbed downwards with a sharp thrust that killed the cuttlefish instantly. The thrust breaks the cuttlebone, a hard structure inside the cuttlefish’s body; it snaps so violently that nearby divers can clearly hear the click.
Having killed her prey, the dolphin still had to prepare it. Cuttlefish ink mostly consists of a pigment called melanin that can block digestion in the stomach and the ability to detect certain chemicals. So getting rid of the ink would make the meal both tastier and easier to digest, and the dolphin did that by lifting the dead cuttlefish and repeatedly beating it with her snout. Every pummel sent clouds of ink shooting from the carcass.
When that stopped, the dolphin allowed the cuttlefish back to the sand, where she raked its back along the ocean floor. That flayed the skin off its back and released the broken cuttlebone. The dolphin effectively deboned her prey and as the cuttlebone floated away, she finally settled down to eat her well-won catch.
I implore President Obama to make good on his promises of a new kind of diplomacy and to begin negotiations for an alliance with our bottle-nosed buddies immediately. With the polar bears already joined with us, we will prevail.

In much the same way that Iraqis were once willing to put aside their differences to fight the Coalition, new intelligence shows that long-time schisms within the Animal Kingdom have been aside in their fight against humanity.
It’s only a matter of time before otters start riding ostriches. Ceterum censeo Regnum Bestiarum esse delendum!
